Ologen® Collagen Matrix in Patients With Primary Congenital Glaucoma Undergoing Trabeculectomy

Randomized Controlled Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Ologen® Collagen Matrix in Patients With Primary Congenital Glaucoma Undergoing Trabeculectomy

To the best of Investigator knowledge, no studies to this date have compared the safety and efficacy of ologen® Collagen Matrix in Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) patients undergoing trabeculectomy. Given that filtration surgery is usually less successful in patients with developmental glaucoma; the purpose of this study is to compare combined trabeculectomy with trabeculotomy (CTT) with adjuvant ologen® Collagen Matrix versus CTT without ologen® in children with PCG. Investigator hypothesis is that CTT with ologen® Collagen Matrix would be as effective as CTT in IOP control, but with reduced scarring and long term healthier bleb morphology.

Standard combined trabeculectomy with trabeculotomy (CTT) All CTT surgeries will be performed under general anesthesia.Under aseptic surgical technique, a superior rectus suture will be placed using 4'0 silk and a limbal-based conjunctival flap to be performed. Sub-Tenon dissection and hemostasis will be achieved and a half-thickness 4 x 4mm rectangular scleralflap will to be dissected up to clear cornea, and radial incision will be placed at the location of the schemes canal, Harms trabepculotome will be used to pass into the schemes canal and rotated into the anterior chamber to open app 60 degree on either sides, A 2 × 2 mm deep scleral block will be excised and peripheral iridectomy will be performed. The scleral flap will be closed with one 10-0 nylon suture and conjunctiva will be closed with 8-0 vicryl continuous suture.

The same procedure will be done for the CTT with ologen® except, before closing the conjunctiva, the ologen® implant will be placed subconjunctivally just overlapping the apex of the triangular scleral flap
